气候变化通过加剧现有的健康威胁和支持新的全球健康问题的出现,影响我们环境和健康的基本要素. Some notable issues that climate change exacerbates are respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, injuries related with environmental changes, as well as food and water safety/security and changes into infectious diseases pattern. The World Health Organization estimates that between 2030 and 2050, climate change will cause 250,000 additional deaths per year and will increase costs to health by 2-4 billion per year by 2030. In addition, climate change is a major contributor to complex emergencies that are more frequent than ever.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Nino Kharaishvili and Ms. Andrea Rezzonico关于健康和气候的交集,以及它如何影响全球“同一个健康”倡议和我们共同的生态系统. 我们将探索全球各地的地理区域,并研究受气候变化和复杂紧急情况影响最大的人口类别. 

我们还将讨论世界各地的决策者和领导人需要采取的一些行动,以建立人口抵御气候变化不利影响的能力.

Andrea Rezzonico

Andrea Rezzonico is the Deputy to the CEO and the Deputy Director of the Converging Risks Lab. She has co-led the development and execution of CSR’s converging risks work since 2016, beginning with its inaugural project analyzing the nexus of climate change, nuclear trends, and security dynamics. Much of her work at CSR centers on issues such as climate change impacts, shifts in international order, nuclear developments, ecological degradation risks, and weapons of mass destruction. She has written various reports spotlighting many of these intersections around the world. 她对以上述问题为中心的复杂和/或同时发生的紧急情况的导航和准备特别感兴趣. Andrea holds an M.A. 约翰霍普金斯大学能源与环境安全专业的全球安全学士学位.A. in international affairs from Florida State University.

“As global temperatures rise, 与气候变化相关的极端事件将越来越多地叠加和/或与其他脆弱性交叉,这已经并将继续产生层叠和/或同时发生的危机. Or in other words: complex emergencies. This is an overlooked yet critical angle in my opinion, and a nexus we are struggling to comprehensively address.”
